Schaer M, Glaser B, Cuadra MB, Debbane M, Thiran JP, Eliez S (2009). "Congenital heart disease affects local gyrification in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome". Dev Med Child Neurol 51 (9): 746-53. DOI:10.1111/j.1469-8749.2009.03281.x. PMID 19416334. Research Blogging[e]

A study notable for the relatively large sample size (44 participants with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a condition that affects only 1 in about 5,000 newborns) that corroborates previous studies linking 22q11.2DS to congenital heart disease and decreased gyrification. It is also interesting because it did not find a correlation between gyrification and cortical thickness.
